How to Protect a Memorial Page with a Password
Not all memories are for everyone to see. Here is when it makes sense to password-protect a memorial page — and how to do it in a few simple steps.
A public memorial page allows anyone, anywhere to visit — which is perfect for those who want memories to be accessible. But sometimes families prefer to control who sees private content. Lifemory offers a password-protection option precisely for these situations.
When does a password-protected page make sense?
Password protection does not mean the page is hidden — the QR code still works, the link can be shared. It means visitors need a password to see the content.
- Pages with strictly family photos or stories
- A memorial for a minor or a public figure
- When the family wants a private grieving period before opening access
- When sensitive content is present (documents, private letters)
How to set the password — step by step
Setting the password takes just a few seconds from the memorial page administration panel.
- Open your memorial page as administrator
- Go to Settings > Privacy
- Enable the Password protected option
- Enter your chosen password and save
- From now on, every visitor will be prompted to enter the password
Public vs. private — advantages and disadvantages
Both options have their place. The choice depends on the family's preferences and the type of content.
- Public: accessible to anyone with the QR code or link, ideal for open tribute pages
- Private with password: full control, ideal for family memories
- You can change visibility at any time from settings
Does the QR code work with a protected page?
Yes, fully. The QR code redirects to the memorial page regardless of visibility settings. The difference: on a protected page, the visitor first sees the password entry form. Once entered correctly, full access is granted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the password after setting it?
Yes, at any time from Settings > Privacy. The old password becomes immediately invalid.
Can I make the page public again after it has been protected?
Yes, you can switch at any time between public and password-protected from the page settings.
Do collaborators need the password?
No. Collaborators authenticated with their Lifemory account have direct access without entering the password.
How do I share the password with family?
Through any channel you prefer — WhatsApp, email, in person. The password can be simple and memorable, for example the person's name or a significant year.
A person's memory can be both public and private — you do not have to choose permanently. Start with what feels comfortable, and adjust as you go. Settings can be changed at any time.
